Angelo’s Dark - One of the Best!

[Evdurtschi]

I have many Mt. Etna types and this seems like one except the figs are darker inside and out and this has a more complex and more intense berry. This fig is superb.
I hope to get some RLBV and Sangue Dolce to compare all together later this week. I’ll make sure to post a comparison review. Maybe a video. :-)

Bluemalibu is the one who recommended this to me and I am soooo glad I trusted him. Thank you, Doug!!!

Beautiful! I’d love to see a comparison video.

[Vitooch1]

Wow, those are the m. Etna types I truly want to get a hold of. I’m gonna add this to my list. 😃

[FIGSinGA]

Great looking fig. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the video.

[RosyPosy]

Welp, another one goes on the list. Thanks a lot! 😂

[RandyK]

Wow! Very nice! I just got a RLBV this year, so would love to see your comparison of these three.

[Achilles]

Do we know anything about it? Place of origin?

[Evdurtschi]

Good question. I don’t know the history. Maybe TorontoJoe knows?

[TorontoJoe]

I have it but it came to me via an OF member. I don't know its origin but I know accounts of it that go back to F4F in 2014

[Rewton]

If memory serves it was introduced by Vito in NY state. I think it was his brother's favorite tree. The variety comes from a town outside of Palermo in Sicily.

...Just doing my little part to help spread the addiction, my friend!

[bkkchris]

Ugh, so good. Another for the list. Would love a comparison video of some of the Mt Etna types!

[Halligan-]

Looks fantastic!

[swethakyadav]

That first picture looks exactly like my RLBV - though mine will never be this juicy. I can see the similarities now.

[Evdurtschi]

RLBV is quite a bit larger than Mt. Etna types. I don’t personally classify it as a Mt. Etna but it is similar. Superior though

[Vitooch1]

Kinda looks like a San donato di ninea fig. I wonder if it’s the same.

[Vitooch1]

Thanks. What’s Bff by the way?

[Evdurtschi]

Black Fig Fly A new pest that has now spread to the US and has potential to devastate the fig crops

[Vitooch1]

Damn! Hope it didn’t affect all your trees. First time I’ve heard of this.

I got 2 a few days ago from my 2nd year plant. It was good, nice strawberry aftertaste for me. Thanks fighobo-1

Did you end up getting any RLBV or Sangue Dolce fruit? If you forgot to take pictures that's ok, just wondering about your overall impression.

[Evdurtschi]

Yes. I’ve had them. They are both great. RLBV is larger but similar and equally as impressive. Sangue Dolce is also great but smaller. You will be happy with any of them

[pdxambassador]

Gotta do a side by side with Crozes and Colosanti Dark!
